I enjoy your videos, even the ones that feature clubs which will never grace my small 6" carry bag (essentially ALL of them). I'm also over 80 and still a 6-handicap from the middle tees. So here's my 2-pence for "average" golfers, in no particular order: 1) Get fitted, so your clubs aren't working against you. 2) Carry fewer clubs, learn to hit some half and 3/4 shots, become a REAL golfer, not just somebody pounding balls. 3) WALK, always walk. It stretches the big muscles you use to hit golf balls...and you get a bit of exercise and you appreciate the naturall beauty of the course more. 4) Get some lessons, even if you are playing well. Let somebody who can objectively judge critique your efforts. 5) Spend just as much time on the putting green as you do on the range, and spend that time working on 4-10 foot puts, not 30-fpoters. 6) THINK your way around the course. You aren't going to hit every shot well, so make it your job to minimize your mistakes, not amplify them. 7) Don't take things so seriously. I see average players all the time who let anger and frustration overwhelm the joy of playing the game. It's a GAME, not a life-and-death struggle. So you screwed up, it's not the end of the world; you're still in the glorious outdoors on a beautiful course. Appreciate it!!
Absolutely spot on, it’s a game not life and death, the vast majority of us will struggle to break 90 and almost certainly not 80. That should not detract from enjoying the game, the course and its environment. Golf allows players of all ages to compete and play against each other due to the handicap process. As we get older and our physical abilities wane, we can be as good as anyone with our short game, and 100% keep walking.
@@TheAverageGolfer In 70+ years of playing, I should hope to have gleaned a bit of knowledge...even if I don't always apply it properly. Hit 'em straight...the game is a LOT more fun when played from the short grass.
Absolutely spot on sir. I have loads of clubs but rarely carry more than eight or nine and similarly I can play various shots; making an 8 iron a nine iron or wedge by choking down and varying the amount of swing A “feel” player essentially, much more fun and I also walk and carry my bag as a senior I like to keep it simple and generally I do ok
Got to love the camouflage Peter Millar top! I could make a crass comment about the camouflage and the sheep, but I won’t! 😂 Keep up the great work Andy, been awesome to see the courses you’ve played during the bad weather, that’s just golf in the UK, but unlike a lot of channels, the sun doesn’t always shine! Keep doing what you’re doing! Great work and well received! 👏👏👏👏
I use to play the game of golf pretty good, never a scratch golfer but not bad. Work, kids and overall life had my priorities focused everywhere but golf. Recently, I started playing again, 17 years later, needless to say, my game was nowhere near where it was. I turned to RUclips. Your channel came up and it had directed me in the right direction. I bought a set of Taylormade Stealth HD irons on your recommendation. Very glad I did. Your videos are hands down my favorite. Thank you for what you do. I appreciate your opinion.
Will never ever understand how someone can dish out hate to someone who produces what you produce. Please keep your top top quality content going and F them. You're ons of the reasons I came back to golf after 11 years out. You and a few notable, entertaining others
Your videos are the benchmark for honesty and integrity. Always greatly appreciate you taking the time to provide well researched and factual content. For us average golfers, learning about new clubs and products is fun. You make it easy and entertaining to learn.
I like the reviews even when not in the market for a brand or iron - i find the channel entertaining and your content and presenting style make me come back to watch
Loved the opening monologue, playing the 923 HL'S and love them...70 years old with driver about 90 mph, IMO these are a no brainer for senior golfers.....They do what they say, another great Mizuno product....
I've watched a few reviews of the HL model and I think people are missing the point but you got it. Most of the comments I've read are complaining about the HL not hitting the ball as far as the other models. Slower swings need a higher launch to get more carry distance. The higher swing speeds are going to produce an even higher flight with too much spin. I find it ironic that the same people who understand this concept in drivers seem to stop applying the same logic when it comes to irons.
Good review, just say it as it is Andy. Take no notice of the keyboard clowns with sad lives. We enjoy your content, that’s why we are here. Enjoy your break.
Forget the trolls, too many jerks hiding behind the keyboard. I love your reviews because it helps me see what’s out there from a golfer of similar handicap. I can’t go test everything out there, but great to learn. Not that I change often, but great to see. Also, love the sheep grazing in the fairway - too funny - but I’d be afraid I’d hit one. Keep it up and forget the complainers.
Andy, I love watching your videos, both course and club reviews. Really appreciate your honesty, bought some PXG 0211's a few years ago based purely on your review, they served me well. Recently bought a gen6 4hybrid and it may just be the best club I have ever bought. Please ignore the haters and keep producing your quality videos, the majority of us really, really appreciate it.
Andy, I appreciate this channel very much. Is it perfect?, of course not. Because of you I played Stonehaven all the way from Texas. I made a few comments about you being a little more informative about the geography of your hidden gems and you sufficed. The Stonehaven vid you did was brilliant, as I played it I actually teared up for private reasons, and it was one of the best days of my life. I am extremely happy with all my golf gear and will not change anytime soon. But, I watch all your content, even club reviews to enjoy and learn. As a retired police officer of 38 years I’ve had a career full of haters….. But guess what, I slept well knowing I took out the trash! Carry on brother carry on! 🇺🇸
Andy - thanks for the content. Many reviewers won't touch the HL, but glad you did. Not only do these help a slower swinger, but I think its worth mentioning that these can help someone who draws the ball too (draws tend to produce much less spin and height) than someone with a high fade type swing with an irons. I only carry my 7i 140 yds and like to play a draw so these HL irons like the 923/925 HLs and Smoke HL) etc have been a dream. I actually hit the weaker lofted irons further than stronger lofted irons because they have the proper spin to keep the ball in the air. Earlier this year I demo'd the Darkspeed 7i and actually spun it at 2700. The salesman at the golf shop, said did you like it? I said sure if I was hitting a driver,, 2700 rpms would be ideal lol For reference these HL irons I tend to spin a 7i over 5k.
Like your honest take on reviews and the general positive nature. I think people are perfectly capable of hearing the difference between marketing positive en honest positive. Keep it up Andy, and just ignore the frustrated comments. PS: Your swing is looking more fluid, been working on it?
Love the Rant Andy, some of your best work, refreshing, say it as it is. I couldn't play that course personally with all those "lawn mowers" every where, be shit scared of hitting one of them. Keep up the great work.
Well said Andy!! You are always very positive and honest. For us Average Golfers your videos and comments are the ones I listen to above all others. Keep doing what you're doing!!
Impact acoustics sound great. You're striking the ball really well. Comments just before 02:30 are very wise. Really admirable principles explained at 05:30. That's why I follow your channel.
Leaving 2 comments one about what I like to see in reviews and another more direct question I'd like your opinion on. What I like to see is what you did here swinging at 75mph for a club designed for that. It's no good seeing a Pro or strong youngster who plays T100's rip the HM's 7 iron 240 yards. (Reverse is kinda true but it is also fun seeing an Average player hit P7TW's). The opinion I would like is, I am a goodish ball striker, 7i: -4 angle of attach, 0.1 open slightly in to out. However I was diagnosed with MS in 2022 and my swing speed is 75mph with a 7i. I don't need the off set but do need as much help as possible with speed, which in turn affects peak height. Of the clubs you have tested recently what do you think is the fastest in a smaller package, From a visual perspective the smaller and less off set the better,, but I appreciate I need some plus real-estate to generate the face flex. I will obviously got to get fit but trying to gather as much knowledge about current gear as possible.
Currently playing MX1000 (2010) having just got back into it after a near 10 year hiatus. Have to say, I'm finding the MX's really easy to hit, but still need all the help I can get. These interest me.
Love the grumpy Andy bit. This is a useful review and you are 100% right, it is perfect for the majority who swing at the speed you demonstrate. Peak height descent angle and spin are key fo🎉r 😊getting the ball to stop on the the greens 😊
I’ve been watching your reviews and videos for quite a while and can tell you work hard at making them and put a lot of care and professionalism into them. I spent 40 plus years in the restaurant business and know a thing or two about whiners. I would politely cut them loose and work harder to build and grow relationships with guests who appreciated what we were doing and supported us in our efforts. But every once in a while even the most positive amongst us has to vent. Glad you got that off your chest! So I say well done and keep up the most excellent work.
Don’t give the dimwit haters a seconds thought. If they don’t like your channel they should stop watching. If they’re too dumb to work out you need to make a few quid and you do it through the content you provide then good lord. Keep it up, most of us love it.
You always keep it real Andy, that’s what I and so many others who subscribe appreciate 👍 The nags of negativity from those who don’t understand your open opinion on products that may appeal to the masses will soon move on, Keep telling it as it is and f#%k the rest 👊🏻
I think your overviews of equipment & golf courses etc are spot on for the average person. As far as I’ve ever seen on your videos you’ve always expressed that these reviews are ‘your opinion’ and others should take that as it is. I share your frustration of the negative comments and it just seems to be the way of the world at the moment!!
Don't let the complainers bother you Andy. You have nearly 100k subs for a reason. I recently ordered the Mizuno 923 HLs to replace my PXG 0211 irons. The higher launch should help me hold greens better. I've enjoyed the 0211s for a few years now and they've served me well but they're strongly lofted and I struggle to hold greens sometimes. I'm happy to sacrifice a few yards for higher launch, steeper descent angle, and a possibly a little more spin. Keep up the good work!
I've had the hl923 for 2 years. At 73 with slow swing speed, I needed stopping power because I was hitting longer clubs into the greens. They work like a charm extremely high flight lost a few yards but absolutely well worth it
I failed to mention that you also need a high spinning ball such as pxg or kirkland 2.0. If you have a slow swing speed the actual distance from the longest to shortest ball is less than 5 yards. My driver speed is 75. Smash that like button 👇
I did the exact same as you, but picked different irons, but for the exact same reasons. Sold my 0211s. No regrets buying them, they kept me in the game until I improved.
Haha, made a beautiful shot today on the course today, In the wrong direction due to aim. I picked a spot on the ground but forgot to look at the flag in relation to my shoulder on a dogleg right.
I'm not a subscribing even though I've watched quite a few of your videos, but I'm subscribing after your opening statement. What's with all the hate on strong lofts in most comments sections, if you don't like strong lofts in GI irons then go use irons from 20 years ago you doofus, get with the times.
This was great review in opinion. I think the summary at the end was exactly what it should be - who they would benefit and why, and including what you liked and didn’t like. Thanks!
i am glad they are high launching with those sheep in the foreground!😀personally i think loft is the golfer's friend, hitting off a nice flat mat these high launching irons they do hit it high but I find in the real world of down hill and side sloping lies more actual loft on the iron face helps more. To me more loft improves my confidence over the ball and helps one hit a more positive shot keeping it on the fairway from those difficult lies and not pushing or pulling the ball into the deep stuff. Thanks for the great videos, for they inspire me to play more.
Well done Andy I’ve been waiting for someone to review the HL, and what an excellent start to the video. Some people would moan about grass being green. Excellent video again mate.
😅😂🤣 good one, And. They may not be for me, but I wouldn't know that without testing them, which is difficult where I live, or watching reviews. But they need to honest ones. So thanks. Keep doing YT you way.
RUclips golf was my go to place for help deciding what clubs to buy/compare. As you say Andy golf gear generally is just very good, a lot comes down to our own preference and budget. It has become more of an entertainment viewer experience now days. Which has lead to click bait titles - BRUTALLY HONEST, BIG PROBLEM. I’d quite like to see you add in a performance goal to your videos - can you break 80/85? So we can experience the golf round with you as well as the course.
I always enjoy your reviews and I think it’s important to take a positive out of any review, too expensive for a player of my ability, or, just what I need for instance. You are obviously a competent golfer but I often wonder how a numpty golfer like me would get on with some of the clubs you review alongside a very good golfer. This may give a broader view of club performance but also highlight the limitations of the user. Dunno, just a thought.
Sounds like the HL does what it's designed to do. Actually, I quite like the looks. For a big "game improvement" iron, it's comparatively sleek and compact. And has a similar shape to the other JPX clubs.
The HL clubs have loft specs that you would of seen a few years ago until companies started jacking lofts in the pursuit of distance. Thats why people suddenly cant hit there new 7 iron because its really a 5 iron.
Always like your videos Andy, but especially liked your candour and directness re. comments received when doing product reviews.😅 Keep up the fantastic quality. Look forward to the next video, as always.
Thanks Andy for your hard work and honest opinions! I'm still using Mizuno JPX 900 forged still and they are great clubs. I avoid the $ by buying after a year or two after release.
Andy, I notice you rarely do, but wouldn’t it be better for you of you added the title of the club you are revising to your opening title. Surely you might get more views by people searching for product reviews as those without the name rarely come up. Just a thought.
I’m playing the big Bertha heaven wood and 9 wood and love them. Thanks for your review on them I probably wouldn’t have tried them if not for your review.
Hi Andy. Are Mizuno HL not going down they traditional Distance/Ball flight of clubs before all became obsessed with Power Lofts etc? They are definitely going in my bag soon. Has the Price been released? Oh great video As well
Looking to replace a set of K15. Bought a set of G410 during the pandemic and had to settle for a standard set which didn’t work for me. These seem to be a good choice. Thanks for the review!!
Sorry people are crapping on you. I have the 921 HMs which I like, but looking towards the future (mid 50s) the HLs might be fine as I lose speed and start bouncing mid irons off of greens. Guess will have to figure out if graphite shafts in the HM might be a better fir than HL.
Excellent review! I am in my 70's so the swing speed has slowed. Will consider testing these as I look for a new set of irons (Sub70 699 irons currently).
Keep doing what you are doing - I got two of the Srixon wedges after your review a couple of weeks ago and they are game changers - well for me anyway so happy days 😊
Love your reviews and content, keep doing what you do. Only thing that I do to myself is I think I find something that I think is going to improve my game or like, and then constantly so many new products come out and I don’t end up pulling the trigger because the next looks better etc. Keep doing what your doing 👍 Been playing a year now and absolutely love it and feel I’m playing enough, and improved enough to treat myself to a driver fitting. Can’t wait! Irons next season hopefully 🙏
Great work again Andy, .........Poor us, all these great clubs to pick from and with all the data at our finger tips we have no reason to not get fit. it looks to me that the Mizuno JPX series is in its own category ,kind of a hybrid of players distance /game improvement. thoughts? Amazing engineering from Mizuno and many other manufacturers make our choices endless and finally for once and for all, Club lofts are based on all performance factors not only the distance . Thanks again Andy ,all the best
Ahhhh . . . . . okay Andy. That's one way of doing it. On the positive side, great looking course, i see blue skies intermixed with white fluffy clouds. Imagine the weather is a little coolish as you're wearing long sleeves. Hitting some great shots . . . what's not to like? As for me, I'm suffering from RUclips new club overload at the moment and I'm in one of those rare moments for a golfer where I'm really liking all of my clubs with exception of maybe my SW, which has been good, but not great, so can't say i'm really looking with a keen eye at any of the new offerings AT THE MOMENT. Of course a few bad rounds, one after the next, could change that so i won't exempt myself from looking at the new stuff but I'll just say that my current golf focus is elsewhere and i'll be looking more at the course than the clubs.
I enjoy your videos, even the ones that feature clubs which will never grace my small 6" carry bag (essentially ALL of them). I'm also over 80 and still a 6-handicap from the middle tees.

I failed to mention that you also need a high spinning ball such as pxg or kirkland 2.0. If you have a slow swing speed the actual distance from the longest to shortest ball is less than 5 yards. My driver speed is 75. Smash that like button 👇
I did the exact same as you, but picked different irons, but for the exact same reasons. Sold my 0211s. No regrets buying them, they kept me in the game until I improved.
Just bought the 923HL moved from the 0211 for the same reason to get better stopping on the greens
Best clubs I ever owned were made by Mizuno. Ms 9 irons and a close second were made Miura’s. Cheers Andy. 🇨🇦💝🙏
Haha, made a beautiful shot today on the course today,
In the wrong direction due to aim. I picked a spot on the ground but forgot to look at the flag in relation to my shoulder on a dogleg right.
I'm not a subscribing even though I've watched quite a few of your videos, but I'm subscribing after your opening statement.
What's with all the hate on strong lofts in most comments sections, if you don't like strong lofts in GI irons then go use irons from 20 years ago you doofus, get with the times.
This was great review in opinion. I think the summary at the end was exactly what it should be - who they would benefit and why, and including what you liked and didn’t like. Thanks!
loved the opening comments. 😂
these irons remind me of the taylormade sim irons.
i am glad they are high launching with those sheep in the foreground!😀personally i think loft is the golfer's friend, hitting off a nice flat mat these high launching irons they do hit it high but I find in the real world of down hill and side sloping lies more actual loft on the iron face helps more. To me more loft improves my confidence over the ball and helps one hit a more positive shot keeping it on the fairway from those difficult lies and not pushing or pulling the ball into the deep stuff. Thanks for the great videos, for they inspire me to play more.
Well done Andy I’ve been waiting for someone to review the HL, and what an excellent start to the video. Some people would moan about grass being green. Excellent video again mate.
😂😂😂Love the opening. Some people just want to make everyone else miserable.
😅😂🤣 good one, And.
They may not be for me, but I wouldn't know that without testing them, which is difficult where I live, or watching reviews. But they need to honest ones. So thanks. Keep doing YT you way.
That intro 😂 Excellent review and love your explanation of how you approach reviews.
Thank you kindly!
Is that an Osmo Pocket 3 you are using? Would love a small video on your complete camera setup.
RUclips golf was my go to place for help deciding what clubs to buy/compare. As you say Andy golf gear generally is just very good, a lot comes down to our own preference and budget.
It has become more of an entertainment viewer experience now days. Which has lead to click bait titles - BRUTALLY HONEST, BIG PROBLEM.
I’d quite like to see you add in a performance goal to your videos - can you break 80/85? So we can experience the golf round with you as well as the course.
As usual a really good and honest review, well done. Thank you!
Cheers bud
Best intro EVER... 👋👋👋
Nice review andy thanks for all your work.
My dad used to say , dogs bark , people moan.
Good for you Andy 😅😅😅
I always enjoy your reviews and I think it’s important to take a positive out of any review, too expensive for a player of my ability, or, just what I need for instance. You are obviously a competent golfer but I often wonder how a numpty golfer like me would get on with some of the clubs you review alongside a very good golfer. This may give a broader view of club performance but also highlight the limitations of the user. Dunno, just a thought.
It’s a great concept but very difficult to organise
Great job as always. Absolutely appreciate your honesty and ignore the keyboard warriors with NFI what they are talking about.
Andy, you do you and don’t worry about what some people think and say. Keep up the great work!
Just the best opening I've heard on a golf channel !!!!!!!!👹👹👺
Sounds like the HL does what it's designed to do. Actually, I quite like the looks. For a big "game improvement" iron, it's comparatively sleek and compact. And has a similar shape to the other JPX clubs.
The HL clubs have loft specs that you would of seen a few years ago until companies started jacking lofts in the pursuit of distance. Thats why people suddenly cant hit there new 7 iron because its really a 5 iron.
Andy, I didn't even check the price but I will say these are too expensive. Sorry, couldn't resist after such a brilliant opener.
😂
Excellent from start to finish!👍
I always appreciate your club reviews Andy…and all your other content. Thank you!
I appreciate that!
LOVED YOUR OPENING, SO TRUE
Always like your videos Andy, but especially liked your candour and directness re. comments received when doing product reviews.😅 Keep up the fantastic quality. Look forward to the next video, as always.
Enjoy your honest reviews! There’s some who will even argue with themselves.
😂😂
Andy just keep doing your reviews, they are interesting and honest.
I appreciate that!
You forgot i might be putting these in the bag😂 great rant.
Could go on forever 😂
Thanks Andy for your hard work and honest opinions! I'm still using Mizuno JPX 900 forged still and they are great clubs. I avoid the $ by buying after a year or two after release.
Andy, I notice you rarely do, but wouldn’t it be better for you of you added the title of the club you are revising to your opening title. Surely you might get more views by people searching for product reviews as those without the name rarely come up. Just a thought.
I’m playing the big Bertha heaven wood and 9 wood and love them. Thanks for your review on them I probably wouldn’t have tried them if not for your review.
Love to read 👍👏
Hi Andy. Are Mizuno HL not going down they traditional Distance/Ball flight of clubs before all became obsessed with Power Lofts etc? They are definitely going in my bag soon. Has the Price been released? Oh great video As well
Always honest and always good reviews andy ,golfers will always watch and follow you for this. Keep doing what your doing.
Much appreciated
Best and most refreshing intro of any vid I've seen in a long time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOL ! I love your attitude, have from my first video of yours. Keep on doing what you're doing, the photography is the best out there on any channel 👊
Thank you! Will do! 👍
Looking to replace a set of K15. Bought a set of G410 during the pandemic and had to settle for a standard set which didn’t work for me. These seem to be a good choice. Thanks for the review!!
Certainly worth trying Thomas
I enjoy your videos so keep up the good work
Absolutely loved the intro!! Reaffirms why I’m always looking forward to your posts!
😂👍
Sorry people are crapping on you. I have the 921 HMs which I like, but looking towards the future (mid 50s) the HLs might be fine as I lose speed and start bouncing mid irons off of greens. Guess will have to figure out if graphite shafts in the HM might be a better fir than HL.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤your Nike Shoes !
Excellent review! I am in my 70's so the swing speed has slowed. Will consider testing these as I look for a new set of irons (Sub70 699 irons currently).
Worth a try
Keep doing what you are doing - I got two of the Srixon wedges after your review a couple of weeks ago and they are game changers - well for me anyway so happy days 😊
Great to hear! I love to read this 👍
Andrew you forgot the "just play blades" mafia 😂
The list goes on
Great review Andy, and I loved your intro! Keep doing what you are doing! You care about what your subscribers want, and it shows.
I know that the majority of my audience are good honest people who understand 👍
Hello Andy , your introduction was spot on. We love your content. 😊😊😊
Thank you so much 😁
Great video, honest review. You gave all the information I would be looking for.
Love your reviews and content, keep doing what you do. Only thing that I do to myself is I think I find something that I think is going to improve my game or like, and then constantly so many new products come out and I don’t end up pulling the trigger because the next looks better etc. Keep doing what your doing 👍
Been playing a year now and absolutely love it and feel I’m playing enough, and improved enough to treat myself to a driver fitting. Can’t wait! Irons next season hopefully 🙏
I agree new clubs are not the answer to better golf but when purchased correctly can assist, hope the driver fit goes well 👍
I love the sheep on the fairways.👍👍
Love the content Andy, thanks for all the reviews, and the ‘off the beaten track’ series inspires me to play some of those courses. Keep it coming! 👏👏
Thanks for watching
Good honest review Andy. Rocking the PM camo too!!
Great work again Andy, .........Poor us, all these great clubs to pick from and with all the data at our finger tips we have no reason to not get fit.
it looks to me that the Mizuno JPX series is in its own category ,kind of a hybrid of players distance /game improvement. thoughts?
Amazing engineering from Mizuno and many other manufacturers make our choices endless and finally for once and for all, Club lofts are based on all performance factors not only the distance .
Thanks again Andy ,all the best
Yes I agree choosing product right now is difficult because as I said it’s all pretty decent, custom for is very important
Ahhhh . . . . . okay Andy. That's one way of doing it. On the positive side, great looking course, i see blue skies intermixed with white fluffy clouds. Imagine the weather is a little coolish as you're wearing long sleeves. Hitting some great shots . . . what's not to like? As for me, I'm suffering from RUclips new club overload at the moment and I'm in one of those rare moments for a golfer where I'm really liking all of my clubs with exception of maybe my SW, which has been good, but not great, so can't say i'm really looking with a keen eye at any of the new offerings AT THE MOMENT. Of course a few bad rounds, one after the next, could change that so i won't exempt myself from looking at the new stuff but I'll just say that my current golf focus is elsewhere and i'll be looking more at the course than the clubs.
Th and for taking time to comment and glad the game is in good order
Those Mizuno irons seem to deliver what they have set out to do.. Keep the reviews coming.. 😊
Yes they do and thanks 🙏
Love my HM Pro 921.. bring them in ‘tru’ loft and im happy
Keep up the good work
